SQL server Backups Files types -


i trying read content of backup e.g.(testdb.bak) in text format e.g.(notepad or text editor)

this command retrieving file holds:

restore headeronly disk = 'c:\backups\testdb.bak' 

is there way or file extension, file type or format, can see whole content of backup? without restoring it.

no there no command in sql server let see content of .bak file. if open in notepad see some information , lots of garbage characters. not supported

the best way see content restore on sql server database , run many select statements on tables.
